Final Doan update: Shane Doan chooses Phoenix over Vancouver (re-signs for 4 years)

[BlueJayFanDan]

It'll be interesting to see if Doan sticks with his plan, that if the Coyotes issues aren't ironed out by his deadline (2 hours from now), will he sign with the Canucks? Or will he give another deadline? Or will he change his mind and stick with the Coyotes through thick and thin? Until there's news that he's now a Canuck, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. I'm not sure his heart is in it, to join another team.

Well, the only thing we really know it that he will sign before the CBA expires, because if not, he loses a lot of potential money.

Either way he'll end up in the Northwest... either with Vancouver or Seattle.

Interesting tidbit:

Burrows deal is $18 million over 4 years - which is $2 mill less than they're offering Shane Doan over same span of time

Wonder if that means anything...

Ouch. High for Burrows.

Shane should go on national tv, and put two contracts in front of him, and then sign one in front of everyone. Would be fun.

It is pretty ridiculous that this is turning into a Lebron James type situation. The only thing that's missing is a 30 minute preview show.

[BlueJayFanDan]

I know lol. Shane Doan seems so much better than to pull a Lebron. But the Hockey world is watching right now, so it is pretty similar.

Probably not reliable but:


Incarcerated Bob ‏@incarceratedbob

**BREAKING NHL NEWS**Source: Shane Doan has agreed to a contract with the Vancouver Canucks #DealDone #IBN -- #TSN Late!


TNR ‏@TNRichey

Shane Doan is now a Canuck.

[BlueJayFanDan]

I doubt those are reliable, but I am hoping maybe they are.

[sfgiants5518]

The TNR dude has 100 followers and Incarcerated Bob is one of the most frowned upon sources.

[BlueJayFanDan]

I figured the 2nd wasn't reliable. 1st one has a lot of tweets and followers, so who knows.

[sfgiants5518]

Some of the tweets on Doan are so epic:

I'm scared to go for lunch now. What if Shane Doan blows his nose or walks his dog and I'm not around to hear it?
